The Chirstopher Killer is written by Alane Ferguson. This book is a murder mystery. This book is a great book once you start reading it you can't put it down you just have keep reading to find out whats going to happen next.
The book is about a girl, named Cameryn, who is a senoir in high school. She is very interested in forensic science and knows a lot about it. Cameryn's father is a coroner. Eventually Cameryn gets her fatherr to agree to let her be his assistant so she can feel for what she wants to go into. Shortly after her dad hires her as his assistant there is a murder in their small town. Later on , they find it was the Christopher Killer. The Christopher Killer will murder his victims and place a St. Christopher medal on their body. As they try to solve the murder Cameryn realizes that if she isn't careful she coculd be the next victim.
I recommend this book who likes mystery books. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone under the age of 14 for the simple fact that they get somewhat discriptive in the book about body and the murder. I thought this was very good and very interesting.

A Child Called It
A Child Called It was written by Dave Pelzer. This book is 184 pages and very descriptive. I would say that this book is for someone that is 14 or older because of the events that happen through his life.
This book is about Dave Pelzer in his childhood. At first he mentions that everything at home was good his mom was happy and everything was grand. Then it started turning bad, his mom was becoming abusive and was only beating him out of all of his sibilings. She would make him do horrible things and if she caught doing something that he wasn't supposed he would end up with a horrible consequence. There were times that she would make him starve, she even made him stick his hand to a hot stove. Eventually, the Department of Social Services were called and went to make sure everything was okay in the house, so when she found out about it she would start being nice to him so he wouldn't tell them anything that she did to him.
When I read this book it was hard to put the book down. I recommend this book to everyone, but I'm sure many of you have already this book. It is very touching and heartbreaking but it's like you have to keep reading to make sure he made it even though you already know he did.

The Forgotten Garden
The Forgotten Garden is written by Kate Morton. This book is about 560 pages and has a unique writing style to it. Each chapter that is written flip-flops between two different time periods, a present day time period and then goes back to 1913.
In 1913, a girl who goes by the name Nell, is being shipped with others to America. She is told to stay on the ship and hide until further noice by a lady known as Authoress. Authoress neer returns for her so the captian and his wife decide to raise her as their own child and tell her the truth about her life when Nell turns twenty-one. This where Nell decides to find her true identity but she doesn't find everything out and that is where her granddaughter comes in. Cassandra picks up from where her grandmothere leaves off and finds out the truth about their family history that left untold.
I recommend this book to young-adult to adults. This book is a much more difficult book to follow so it wouldn't be very appropriate for someone younger. I thought the way that she described every situation made it seem so life-like.
